Features.

HIMax is a flexible SIL 3 platform designed for critical production processes that can never afford to go down. HIMax adapts to all I/O count, response-time and fault-tolerance requirements as well as centralized or distributed applications. Yet it always delivers maximum plant availability and future-proof flexibility.

The flexible HIMax-Rack is available with 10, 15 oder 18 slots.

• Fully enclosed modules
• Replace module without disturbing I/O or power wiring
• Three available rack sizes: 10, 15 and 18 slots
• All racks are panel mountable; the 15 slot is also available for 19-inch rack installation.
• Fully integrated and protected power distribution
• Different field wiring configurations, including direct wiring and terminal blocks as well as system cable with Field Termination Assembly

HIMax is the most powerful safety platform ever invented. Its unprecedented performance is based on high-performance components and smart system architectures. 

• Cycle time of 50 ms with 1,000 I/Os. (split 50% analog/digital)
• Unlimited complex calculations
• Impact of calculation of 1,000 PIDs on cycle time: 5 ms
• Signal conditioning directly on I/O modules with no impact on CPU performance
• Up to 200 I/O modules in up to 16 racks per system and 250 systems per safety network
• Up to 2,624 I/Os per cabinet
• Multitasking: Set fixed scan times for dedicated applications
• Sequence of event (SOE), 1 ms resolution quality

• Stores up to 2,500 diagnostic entries in the processor module and 500 entries per I/O module automatically
• Maintenance log includes relevant information such as reload, download, run, stop, force.
• All diagnostic information can be transferred to the DCS.
• Condition monitoring, e.g., for relay modules

• Various options for remote operation, with distributed control via
  HIMA safeethernet
  PROFINET/PROFIBUS with PROFIsafe*
  FOUNDATION fieldbus safety FF-SIS H1 (as soon as available)*
  
• Up to 20 COM modules per system, each with two fieldbus connectors (9-pin D-sub) and four Ethernet ports (RJ-45),running up to 4 protocols per COM module simultaneously
• One network for all systems

                          * Details are subject to change

• Unrivaled system performance: Multiple applications in one system
• Each application with individual cycle/scan time
• Fixed cycle time possible
• Each application can be modified without affecting the other

Benefits of multitasking

• Add and change application reaction free
• Mix different applications in one system
• Time-critical and non-time-critical processes in one system
• Future proof solutions
• Save CAPEX
